I don't know if i'm allowed to post this on here, so feel free to delete it if needs be. Borders in Swindon is closing on the 9th of August, and will become a New Look which is shit! So i would really appreciate it if you could please sign this petition which is hopefully going to make the Chief Executive realise he's making a huge mistake! http://www.gopetition.co.uk/petitions/save-swindon-borders/signatures.html |

If thats genuine then thats rubbish! Swindon has virtually no decent bookstores (Waterstones aside) and already has a rather large new look in town - new look not being the greatest of stores anyway! Why oh why could they not get a Zara for Swindon if anything  |

Borders is nice to visit but way way over priced. You can get the same books in Asda (fiction), from Amazon or eBay (non-fiction) for a fraction of the cost.
The free market rules.
It is not a going concern.
Incidentally my good lady went into town this morning for the first time in a while and was appalled at how shit it has become. The Brunel Centre is like a boarded up morgue, most of the centre is bulldozed and yet we have loads of hoardings saying how great things are coming. Dated for 'Autumn 2008'.
Reality check time, the New Swindon Company. You're completely fucked it up you quango full of wankers.

That is the only one I know of in Swindon (is there another?). I always pop in there if I am shopping at that development. |

Yeah the one at the Orbital Shopping Park.
It is over priced, but if you need a book you can't find anywhere else chances are you'll find it in there and where else can you browse through that many books!

We often go for a Starbucks On another note, Swindon needs something like 'The Brewery' in Cheltenham (restaurants and bars in one complex) - I think the old Renault building would be a great location, easily accessible and create plenty of new jobs too rather than the building being dormant and wasted. |

Good shout although something like that would make sense being closer to the town centre. |

Ive never been there,infact ive never been to the orbital shopping centre.I mainly buy books from Charity shops or occasionly online.If Borders was an independant privatly owned shop being pushed out by a massive chain id probably feel a bit more impassioned by its plight, but its a chain store on a retail park making way for another chain store..who cares?
